Contrary to pottery or metal artefacts, macro-lithic tools are still not fully integrated into the archaeological research programs concerning the Early Bronze Age of Central Europe. While such kind of archaeological materials usually do not easily allow typological approaches, their constant participation in several productive spheres makes them a crucial element for understanding the economic processes and the organisation of past societies. This paper presents the general results of the investigation carried out on an assemblage of 1073 macro-lithic items recovered in the wet soil area of the site of Bruszczewo (municipality of Śmigiel, Poland). This fortified settlement was inhabited during the Early Bronze Age (2100-1650 BCE) and later on in the Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age (1100-800 BCE), with minor archaeological evidences from Middle Ages. The methodology applied in this assessment is a holistic one, which combines manufacturing (petrography and morphometry), functional (use-wear and residues) and spatial analyses. This approach has allowed recording a mainly local raw material supplying system, based on the gathering of pebbles in the vicinity of the site and a minimal transformation of raw pieces previous to use. Moreover, Bruszczewo comes out to be a central settlement managing and controlling exogenous ores, such as copper and gold, as shown by residues found on some macro-lithic forging anvils. All in all, the recognition in the macro-lithic tool assemblage of different tasks related to subsistence (food preparation) as well as to manufacture (metallurgy, probably bone working) processes contributes to (a) defining the settlement's organisation and the management of resources in the site and (b) improving our understanding of the role played by central settlements in the socio-economic networks, at a time when the first class societies emerged in Central Europe.

Bruszczewo（波兰）青铜时代聚落的宏观岩石资源的制造、使用和管理

与陶器或金属制品相反，宏观石器工具仍未完全融入有关中欧青铜时代早期的考古研究计划。虽然这类考古材料通常不容易采用类型学方法，但它们对多个生产领域的持续参与使它们成为理解经济过程和过去社会组织的关键要素。本文介绍了对在 Bruszczewo 遗址（波兰 Śmigiel 市）的潮湿土壤区域中回收的 1073 件宏观石块组合物进行的调查的一般结果。这个坚固的定居点在青铜时代早期（公元前 2100-1650 年）以及后来的青铜时代晚期和铁器时代早期（公元前 1100-800 年）有人居住，带有来自中世纪的少量考古证据。该评估中应用的方法是一种整体方法，它结合了制造（岩相学和形态测量）、功能（使用磨损和残留物）和空间分析。这种方法允许记录一个主要是当地的原材料供应系统，该系统基于在场地附近收集的鹅卵石以及在使用前对原材料进行最小化改造。此外，Bruszczewo 是一个管理和控制外来矿石（如铜和金）的中央聚居地，如在一些宏观锻造砧上发现的残留物所示。总而言之，在宏观工具组合中识别与生存（食品制备）以及制造（冶金，
